10 Actresses Who Could Be Real-Life Disney Princesses

So, word on the street is that Emma Watson is in early talks to play Cinderella in a live-action Disney adaptation (with Cate Blanchett as the wicked stepmother—how perfect is that?). Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo! And just in case the folks at Disney are listening, I've made a few potential princess suggestions of my own.

Maleficent—the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the villain's point of view—is already in the works and starring Angelina Jolie as the wicked lady and Elle Fanning as Princess Aurora. And you know what? I think that casting is perfect. No changes here!

The Little Mermaid

For Ariel, we obviously need somebody who can pull off a sassy attitude and fiery-red hair—for me, that's obviously Emma Stone. Somebody get the gal a dinglehopper!

If Watson weren't already in talks for Cinderella, I think she'd make a perfect Belle. But she can't play all the Disney princesses. Because Belle's bookish with a big heart (and my favorite), I think either Alexis Bledel or Leighton Meester would be perf.
